Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord! Psalm 27:14
A mother tucks her children into bed each night, their teeth brushed and their hair still damp from the bathtub, and asks them this question: "Where did you meet God today?" And they tell her, one by one: a teacher helped me, there was a homeless person in the park, I saw a tree with lots of flowers in it. She tells them where she met God, too. Before the children drop off to sleep, the stuff of their day has become the substance of prayer. They enter a thin place and the presence of God is very near.

Let us pray
Dear God, sometimes we wait and wait, failing to notice that you have been with us all along. Give us courage to live in faith this day. Amen.
